All the evil beasts in the world, I feed on demons and monsters

Chapter 399 The Person in Charge

"There's no need to use the merit scale."

Ji Ran's voice was calm, without any attempt to feign old age. Whether these demons had seen the Old Dragon Lord before was irrelevant.

Because it will definitely be noticed.

The difference between himself and the Old Dragon King was enormous, especially since he had no prior knowledge of the Old Dragon King except for a brief encounter on the Huai River where he witnessed his terrifying true form.

It can't be installed.

Therefore, Ji Ran did not intend to maintain the disguise for long. He simply used the identity of the Old Dragon Lord to appear and then used his absolute strength to intimidate the demons.

"You just need to point out the person, and I can figure out who it is."

"only--"

Ji Ran turned his head, his eyes flashing crimson, and a terrifying killing intent descended as if it were a tangible force!

Murderous intent!
Om-!
A terrifying black and red aura surged forth from Ji Ran! The black and red killing intent, like wisps of smoke, soared into the sky!

Ten zhang, one hundred zhang, two hundred zhang!!
The killing intent from the heavens had not yet ceased, but Ji Ran deliberately controlled his position, preventing the power of the shockwave from spreading into the Huai River.

Bang!
Some of the spirits who had raised their heads earlier were now drenched in sweat again, their foreheads slamming hard into the ground! The Hundred-Eyed Spirit Lord tried to raise his head, but was so terrified by the murderous intent that it made his scalp tingle!
Ji Ran remained calm as he glanced around.

The heavens have unleashed their murderous intent; I have never used it in Yingzhou.

The reason is simple: the opponents are too strong. Almost all the travelers who entered were at the second tier. The Heavenly Killing Intent was extremely powerful against ordinary people, but its effect was greatly reduced against those at the first tier or above.

However, after the battle on Yingzhou Immortal Island, several level-six cultivators under his command perished. He even slew Yinghuo with his sword, slaughtered thousands of fierce ghosts, burned the Star Lord with fire, and beheaded a level-three cultivator at Jade Mountain! The killings made Ji Ran's murderous intent grow stronger and stronger. At this moment, even a level-three cultivator would feel weak in the knees if they faced the Heavenly Aura directly.

Of course, it's still not enough to contend with beings who have achieved the second-order unity of spirit and body.

However, these demons have already developed a preconceived fear of themselves, so the killing intent emanating from Heaven can amplify this fear and even plant an irresistible suggestion in their hearts.

now.

Amidst the intense killing intent, Ji Ran's words, though calm, resonated like thunder throughout the banquet!
"Since I have come here, I am now entangled in karma."

"I want all the merit."

moment!

All the demons looked up, their expressions a mixture of astonishment and anger!
The Sixteen Cave Spirit Lords are all renowned demons scattered throughout the Demon Forest! They are truly weaklings; they would have submitted to Tiger and Rhinoceros Ridge long ago.

The reason we are all gathered here is because of this merit-making feast!

"Dragon Lord!"

At that moment, in the front row, a spirit lord with fur and horns bared his teeth and looked up. A strong spiritual pressure accompanied by demonic energy rose up from his body, and a huge and majestic woolly rhinoceros materialized behind him.

The rhinoceros demon's eyes turned red as it said, "This merit belongs to us—"

Pfft!

The next moment, the rhinoceros demon's voice abruptly stopped—its head was gone.

On his neck, jagged lacerations were exposed, and then, after a moment of stillness, blood gushed out!

The powerful demon's dense and boundless blood energy, like a fountain, instantly splashed across the entire inn! The towering ceiling and the flickering candlelight were all shrouded in a crimson glow.

Silence fell.

The demons who had previously shown anger now had eyes that revealed horror!

That rhinoceros demon was a Great Spirit Lord!

Its angry words stemmed from the fact that by accumulating merit, it could break through to the Heavenly Demon realm in an extremely short time! It was unwilling to back down!
However, before it could finish speaking, it suddenly died in public!
Hey.

The bloodied demon's head was pulled from under the feet of the Twin Flower Red Staff and placed on the table. Only then did the demons notice that a thin layer of water had appeared on the ground!

Gulu!

At that moment, the headless demon's corpse, along with the chair, fell into the water.

Little Taixu!
It's that little Taixu from the Four-Eyed Heavenly Demon!
"Since you want the Dragon Lord to preside over this ceremony..."

"Show some respect first."

Shuanghua Honggun's voice was mocking. He rested his chin on his left hand, revealing a cynical sneer, while his four eyes swept over the demons without any emotion.

But unseen underwater, the head of a gigantic Mirage Scale Beast floated on the surface. The Twin Flower Red Stick's domain ability had already been demonstrated during the Sky Island arc, but back then, Yu'er Shen was far too weak compared to him, so it had almost no effect.

His domain allows the ghost tide to attack him, and the same attack to be effective on the target. Just now, Shuanghua Red Stick directly "committed suicide," allowing the alien entity to have its head torn off by the ghost tide, instantly killing that Spirit Lord! This was a strategy he and Ji Ran had agreed upon. When dealing with these demons, once they take action, it must be swift and decisive!

At this moment, the alien entity entered a state of recovery and dormancy, and the Double Flower Red Staff was unable to unleash strength comparable to a fifth-grade cultivator for a short period. However, the desired effect had already been achieved.

At this moment, even the Hundred-Eyed Spirit Lord remained silent.

The lack of action is not a good thing. Being intimidated does not mean being subdued.

Bang!
At this moment, Ji Ran finally revealed his true intentions! A flower of merit and soul landed on the table.

“I want all the merits of the Southern Han.”

"But since this is a feast for merit, how can we let people go back on an empty stomach?"

"If you all have no objections, I have a few more golden lotuses of merit here, which you may share."

Merit-filled Soul Flower is also a Soul Flower!
Even if they only eat a portion of it, their three souls and seven spirits will be affected by the Black Tree of Time! Then they will be able to control these demons through the Black Tree of Time's life-borrowing method!

At this moment, as the Merit Soul Flower was placed on the table, all the demons began to breathe heavily!

Bang!
Then, the second one.

The demons' breathing became heavier, and some even revealed intense greed in their eyes!
This is not some thin strand of merit!
Rather, it is merit condensed into a physical form! The weight of just one flower is equal to all the merit in that dream! After all, this is the merit of a divine general; the weight of three flowers is enough for ascension!
"It is a blessing for us sixteen demon caves that the Old Dragon Lord is willing to preside over this feast!"

At this moment, the Fox Spirit Lord was the first to react. Seeing her skirt flutter, he immediately bowed and said, "We are willing to ask the Dragon Lord to wield the sword!"

Fox Spirit Lord paused slightly, pursed his lips, bowed again, and said, "We, the sixteen cave spirit lords, are willing to follow the Dragon Lord's lead!"

Upon hearing this, Fox Spirit Lord blushed, a mixture of excitement and panic in her eyes. She could feel many demons secretly observing her.

Her words were presumptuous. Before the Hundred-Eyed Spirit Lord could even speak, where did she place the First Cave Demon King?
Moreover, what she meant was not merely hosting a banquet, but following orders blindly!

This is to change the leader of the Sixteen Cave Spirit Lords!

now.

Ji Ran didn't say much, but calmly placed the third flower, all the merit flowers she possessed, on the table.

At the same time, he raised his hand and tore off a third of a merit flower, then tossed it out. As the spiritual energy fluctuated, the large piece of merit landed in front of Fox Spirit Lord.

Upon receiving Ji Ran's cicada-like voice, Shuanghua Honggun immediately chuckled, "Unless you reach the Heavenly Demon realm, you are but an ant. The Dragon Lord has no need for that."

"Is this merit enough for you to break through to the Heavenly Demon realm?"

"That's enough...that's enough!"

Fox Spirit Lord felt a tremor run through her body, and an overwhelming joy engulfed her like a tidal wave!
Pfft!
Just look at her as she offered the soul flower with both hands and kowtowed repeatedly on the ground with a series of "bangs"! This amount of merit was enough for her to break through in a short time!

"This servant kowtows to thank the Dragon King for his generous reward!"

"I will follow the Dragon Lord's lead without hesitation, even unto death!"

Fox Spirit Lord knew he had made the right bet! Once he became a Heavenly Demon, Hundred-Eyed Spirit Lord himself would have nothing to fear!
Seeing this, all the demons breathed heavily, like bellows! Hundred-Eyed Spirit Lord, kneeling on one knee, slowly exhaled, cupped his hands and bowed to Ji Ran, saying, "The feast is at the Dragon Lord's command!"

With the Hundred-Eyed Spirit Lord speaking, all the demons had no further objections and bowed down in submission: "We humbly request the Dragon Lord to wield the sword and obey your commands!"

Now, the dust has settled!
The Star Lord's aura was enough to annihilate all elders. His mere appearance caused all demons to lose their senses and tremble in fear!
By seizing merit, Heaven has unleashed its killing intent, beheading the Great Spirit Lord! With absolute power, he oppresses the demons, preventing them from resisting and deepening their fear!
Finally, when all the demons in the sixteen caves thought they were about to lose their merits, he produced merits far beyond what they could have imagined, and by taking Fox Spirit Lord as an example, he showed all the demons the possibility of ascending to the Heavenly Demon realm!

Especially since the person who actually made the move was, on the surface, just a celestial demon under the old dragon king! He himself hadn't even made a move, which gave the demons even more reason to imagine!

The emotions of the demons were completely controlled by Ji Ran, rising and falling with him. With such merit and strength, Ji Ran's dominant position was no longer something that Hundred-Eyed Spirit Lord could shake.

After all, the Sixteen Caves Spirit Lords were just a loose organization.

At this moment, Ji Ran is the one who has made the most of the merit feast, the absolute person in charge!

As the Lords of Spirits took their seats, Ji Ran knew that the final step had arrived. Once completed, he could rescue everyone and gain several celestial demons under his control!
"The merit is right here, you can't escape it."

Ji Ran looked at Bai Mu Ling Jun and said, "Following what we did before, find Mao Shen first, so as not to take too much merit."

"However, I need the secrets of the Taoist sect."

Ji Ran fixed his gaze on the Hundred-Eyed Spirit Lord and said, "Summon the Dream-Eating Spirit Lord, grab the Hairy God and throw him into his Little Void, and find the secrets of the Daoist sect from the dream."

"Perfect, let the Dream Eater Spirit Lord share in the merits as well."

Bai Mu Lingjun hesitated for a moment, but did not find anything wrong with it. He immediately bowed and said, "Dragon Lord, please wait a moment."

"I then communicated with the Dream Eater."
